“Have you ever been lost? Not horribly, I hope, but occasionally not quite sure where you are or which direction to head? Well, I have been in that situation and a compass came in pretty handy. I have one in my car, one of those stick-on ones that I have on my front window. I can always tell which direction I am going in and this helps. We just finished a page in our website that tells you how to use a compass. It’s pretty basic and I’m sure you will be able to figure it out. You are asking yourself, “but wait, I have a cell phone that is also a GPS system and hey, I think it even has a compass on it”! Well, some phones do have a compass application that you can get and I would recommend that. At times, when you have phone reception, and are lost, a phone call could be all that you might need. But if there is no reception or your battery dies on you, then what? So, it’s a good idea to have a compass on hand when you are traveling around, just in case. They are inexpensive and small enough that one can fit in your pocket. Okay, for your next trip, I want you to write down “Get a Compass” on your list of things to do!”
